Tue, 18 Dec 2018 22:14:00 +0000The band have posted a statement on social media.

Tonight Alive have cancelled their upcoming North America tour, set to commence January 2019.

In a statement posted to Twitter, the band shared that they will also be taking a hiatus from international touring.

You can read their statement in full below:

"Dear Humans.

It’s with heavy but knowing hearts that we have come to the decision to cancel our upcoming US tour for Jan/Feb 2019. Our touring schedule over the years has been demanding and truthfully the makeup of our entire reality. Reaching the end of particularly turbulent year we are seeing the need to address and prioritise our mental and physical health. So in the interest of personal well-being and professional longevity Tonight Alive will be taking a hiatus from International touring.

We are treating this as a matter of the heart, mind, body and soul and hope you can accept our sincere apology to those we are letting down. Despite the intensities of 2017/2018, we have continuously felt the love, connection and support from you all. Thank you for exploring and expressing yourselves so purely and fearlessly in the ‘Underworld’ era.

We are inspired by you and immensely grateful for this chapter of memories. Please be kind to yourselves. We won’t be far away."

All Time Low have just wrapped up their Australian tour and festival appearances- and it looked like a smashing time.

Just due to the rotation of the Earth, Australia is currently in summer while the northern hemisphere freezes. So All Time Low took advantage of the summer vibes on all of their down time- which we're honestly a little bit jealous of.

It looks like the Australian tour had everything- a surprise after party set (featuring Palaye Royale), frisbee on the beach, and some massive festival sets.

It's a prestigious honour. Black Veil Brides frontman Andy Biersack has been crowned by PETA in their annual awards as the Best Voice For Animals.

To take the title, Andy beat will.i.am, Miley Cyrus and Skylar Stecker.

He took out the title for sharing his journey to veganism with his fans, as well as inviting PETA out on Black Veil Brides' North American tour this year to share their animal rights message.

Tue, 18 Dec 2018 13:26:00 +0000It's almost as good as being there. ALMOST.

Palaye Royale have posted a mini documentary, chronicling the last show on their The Final Boom tour in North America.

It's an important moment to capture, because the lads in Palaye have recently shared that when they wrap up their Final Boom Tour they'll be retiring the songs from both 'Boom Boom Room Side A' and 'Boom Boom Room Side B'.

So really, this has the potential to be the last time North American Palaye fans get to see the 'Boom Boom Room' songs.

While a big song and dance was made about Warped Tour being over following their 2018 cross-country event, the promised 25th anniversary event now has a set of dates locked in.

Taking to Twitter, Warped Tour founder Kevin Lyman shared "Plans are coming together for Vans Warped Tour 25th only thing I can say for now since many need to hold vacations dates are June 8 Cleveland, June 29-30 eastcoast, July 20-21 westcoast."

Plans are coming together for @VansWarpedTour 25th only thing I can say for now since many need to hold vacations dates are June 8 Cleveland, June 29-30 eastcoast, July 20-21 westcoast.

While very little is known about the 25th Anniversary Warped Tour, it might be a good idea to get those requests in for leave early.

Mon, 17 Dec 2018 12:50:00 +0000"THIS ONE'S CALLED 'THE CALENDAR'- I WANT TO SEE A WALL OF DEATH"

Earlier this month, we broke the story that Brendon Urie has set his sights on making a metal Panic! At The Disco album- and that he's actually already recorded a metal version of 'The Calendar'.

Ever since this revelation, the only thing on our mind has been when we'll get to hear this metal version of 'The Calendar'.

WELL. The time has come.

While streaming on Twitch and playing Fortnite, Brendon treated everyone who tuned in to the world premiere of the metal version of 'The Calendar'- live during his stream.

Showing off his best moshing and crowdkilling while it played, he also revealed that he recorded this version all the way back in 2010, but this is the first time it's seen the light of day.

Let's. Fucking. Go.

Check out the metal version of Panic! At The Disco's 'The Calendar' below:

Over the weekend we celebrated 10 years of Fall Out Boy's 'Folie À Deux'! And while remembering the album and honouring its 10-year history is great- that doesn't really tell the whole story.

The whole campaign behind the launch of 'Folie' was so much bigger than just an album drop. From releasing a 'Citizens FOB' mixtape (featuring the first demo of 'Lake Effect Kid'), all the way through to a publicity stunt involving Pete Wentz buying a taco truck and turning it into a doughnut truck for Fresh Only Bakery- the (fall out) boys didn't do anything by halves.

But there was also a surprise appearance in New York City, which lead to the band almost getting arrested. Yes- really.

It turns out that the NYC Police Department don't take too kindly to big international bands hosting free concerts in Washington Square Park. Who knew?!

With threats of arrest being thrown around, the band opted not to perform as planned- but they did host a nice little sing-along.

Check the full video of the incident below:

Let's get you up to speed- Sleeping With Sirens are currently working on the follow-up to their 2017 album 'Gossip'. Exciting times.

They're currently in the studio with From First To Last's Matt Good- which has lead to a lot of assumptions that the new direction of Sirens will see them heading back towards a heavier sound.

He also shed a little more light on what they're working on, by replying to a fan comment on Instagram "We just did one song last night and I can’t say much but they’re working with extremely talented people and it’s really, really cool."

Sat, 15 Dec 2018 14:11:00 +0000The power is in your hands!

Yesterday the lads in Set It Off dropped two brand new songs off their upcoming album 'Midnight'- and they've now revealed why.

They're seeking fan input in which of the two songs- 'Dancing With The Devil' or 'For You Forever' will get a music video.

Listen to both, and cast your vote BUT BEFORE YOU DO Set It Off frontman Cody Carson has shared some insight into both, to aid in your decision making.

"'Dancing With the Devil' is a story of betrayal," he said. "It unfortunately happens more often than it should that I someone we work with or someone we get close to in our lives feeds us lines of support and love, reels us in with a false sense of connection, and then whenever they feel like we can’t feed their needs, they cut the line and watch us drown. To me, that severance is fuel. That betrayal and abandonment is a reason to prove something, and the chip on the shoulder grows. This world is a tough place, but we have to be tougher and keep our eyes open so we don’t end up 'Dancing With the Devil.'"

About 'For You Forever' Cody shared "[It's] is my way of putting myself in the shoes of someone else when I was single. I was stubborn, I didn't want a serious relationship, and I'd always let the other person know that. However, sometimes feelings grew, and I pushed them away because I felt I wasn't ready, but it wouldn’t always stop them from waiting for me. This song collects the multitude of emotions that circulated through those situations from start, to end, to even how their friends may have advised them. It was a seriously humbling and vulnerable song to write, but sometimes you have to call yourself out."

Fri, 14 Dec 2018 12:06:00 +0000Where's the tree? Because this is CHRISTMAS.

In what feels a bit like a Christmas miracle, the lads in Set It Off have dropped two brand new songs off their upcoming album 'Midnight', which is set for release February 01.

Following on from the first two tracks they've already released- 'Killer In The Mirror' and 'Lonely Dance', these two new tracks are distinctly Set It Off, in the best way.

Check out both new tracks below.

'Dancing With The Devil':

'For You Forever':

Set It Off's new album 'Midnight' is set for release February 01 through Fearless Records.

Panic! At The Disco's HUGE hit single 'High Hopes' has just landed yet another major chart achievement.

Billboard reports that, for the sales week beginning December 15th, the song now sits at No.1 on the Pop Songs, Adult Pop Song and Alternative charts simultaneously, marking only the fourth time in Billboard history that this has happened.

Previously, Green Day achieved the same feat with 'Boulevard Of Broken Dreams', topping all three charts for four weeks back in 2005. Gotye and Goo Goo Dolls have also managed to get the triple with 'Somebody That I Used To Know' and 'Iris' respectively.

(Also, although it's not an official record, this does mean Panic! are the first band that don't begin with a 'G' to do this. Just saying. One to add to the record books maybe?).

Let's have another listen shall we?

'High Hopes' is also currently No.1 on the Radio Songs chart, at No.5 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No.1 in our hearts and minds.
